Abstract
Morphological characterization of fabricated MXene (M-X) Polymeric nanocomposites (M-X@PNC) is critically imperative for in depth appraisal of surface-topographical and compositional evaluation of M-X@PNC. The garnered properties of M-X@PNC are function of the degree of nanoparticulate distribution and embedment within the polymeric matrices and their overall effectiveness at improving the nanocomposites properties, vis-a-viz mechanical, heat dissipation as well as heat deflection properties along with potential applications. Inherently interacting functional entities within M-X@PNC architecture are basis for garnered properties including flammability, chemical, thermal, electrical conductivity and so on, which directly affect potential applications. Thus, this paper elucidates the influence of morphology and architecture on M-X@polymeric nanoarchitectures properties and applications.
